in heaven

Jena pretty much gave me permission to talk about pregnancy all I want. So I will.

Last night Christian asked me to pick up some ice cream on my way home from teaching. So I stopped by the Walgreens near our house and got him some Rocky Road (and some strawberry for me). As I was buying the ice cream, the friendly lady at the check stand said, "So when are you due?" Really? Really??? I look pregnant enough that she felt comfortable asking when I'm due? When I got home I caught a glance of myself in the mirror. I guess I'm pregnant now.

Yes, that's exciting and all, but let me tell you why I'm in heaven. I received this in the mail last night:

138 pages of calendars, checklists, and charts. Mercy me, does it get any better than that? I am a sucker for calendars and checklists. This is like Christmas, only better.

You are adorable. I can't get enough of checklists either so I can see why you would be so excited! Oh, and I LOVE the picture on the wall of you and Christian...(if I am seeing what I think I am) is that in the kitchen? I don't think it was there when I came (a long time ago) I think maybe the fact that you were buying two things of ice cream gave the lady a little more courage to say something about you expecting...lol ;) nothing wrong with buying ice cream!!

very cute. i remember being like that. this time around i'd prefer not to show so much, have not picked up a single 'info' book on pregnancy or recorded a single thought, and wish i didn't have so many check-ups. i can barely even remember what week i am at! poor second child.

Wow! That is so much fun! People are brave to ask about the pregnancy so early on - but you're definitely showing! Just wait ... you (or Christian) will be buying weirder things than two tubs of ice cream!
